About Major

Major is a happy and affectionate 6-year-old boy who will win you over with his charming smile. This active guy enjoys car rides, long walks, and lively play sessions, often galloping around with his big, wagging tail. When it's time to unwind, you'll find him cozying up on the bed or couch with you. Having already mastered commands like sit, stay, wait, and leave it, Major is quick to learn and clearly comes from a good training background. His food motivation and love for belly rubs reveal just how charming he can be. He spent only a few months in his last home, so he’s still finding his footing at the shelter, where his easygoing nature shines. Ideal for homes with older, calmer children, Major may need guidance to help him adjust. A proper introduction to other dogs is recommended before meeting, and while his reaction to cats is still unknown, we suggest proceeding cautiously. Major’s adoption fee is generously sponsored, so it’s waived! If you’re looking for a loyal companion ready for a fresh start, Major may just be the one you’ve been waiting for.
